A few things I would add. For those concerned about lung cancer, make sure you have your home tested for radon. One 500 poeple in the U.S. will develop lung cancer from radon exposure. Sun avoidance is the most important measure in avoiding skin cancer. While we strongly recommend sunscreen, the use of this has not been shown conclusively to lower the risk of skin cancer. Also some sun exposure is recommended. It has been estimated that 24,000 people die from cancer in the U.S. per year from lack of UVB exposure (most likely due to vitamin D deficiency). This is more than twice the number of people who die from skin cancer. Before adding soy to your diet discuss this with your health care provider. While the intake of soy has been associated with a slight decrease in breast cancer, other studies have shown accelerated growth of breast cancer cells that are exposed to soy.

Thank you again for sharing this information!
